Get Sweaty: Gyms With Child Care in Los Angeles

Things To Do in Los Angeles with Kids

Updated for 2026

Yes, you can find Los Angeles-area gyms with supervised children’s programs while you work out. Bay Club El Segundo, Manhattan Country Club, several local YMCAs, Crunch Burbank, Equinox South Bay, Fitness 19 Pico Rivera and LA Fitness La Cienega advertise children’s care or a Kids Room on their official pages. The important catch: ages, childcare hours, reservations and membership extras are not the same at every location.

Start with the branch closest to your regular routine, then confirm that its children’s program fits your child’s age and the time you actually want to exercise. A gym open late may have childcare only in the morning. An included benefit may still require a family membership or adding your child to your account.

Which LA gyms have a children’s program near you?

Use this table to build a shortlist. “Ask the branch” means a location-specific detail was not established by the public pages reviewed—not that the gym necessarily excludes babies or lacks the service.

Area and branch	Age information	Access, time and cost to check
South Bay: Bay Club El Segundo	6 months–12 years; weekday mornings through age 7	Child on eligible membership; up to 2 hours, once daily; parent onsite; Connect booking. Included care is not free gym membership.
South Bay: Manhattan Country Club	6 months–12 years	Child on membership; up to 2 hours, once daily; parent onsite. Confirm membership cost and booking window.
West LA: Collins & Katz YMCA	Branch-specific; ask about infants	Family-membership CAC benefit; up to 2 hours/day, potentially shorter for babies; remain in facility.

What are the South Bay options and their childcare hours?

Bay Club El Segundo

2250 Park Place, El Segundo, CA 90245 • (310) 643-6878

The El Segundo club’s Clubhouse is a children’s amenity, but the useful planning details are on Bay Club’s childcare page. Posted sessions are Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–1:30 p.m., for ages 6 months–7 years; Monday–Wednesday, 4–7:30 p.m., for ages 6 months–12 years; and Saturday–Sunday, 8 a.m.–1:30 p.m., for ages 6 months–12 years.

Children must be on a Bay Club membership. Eligible care is complimentary, with one daily visit of up to two consecutive hours, and a parent or guardian must remain on the property. Reserve through Bay Club Connect; drop-ins depend on capacity. Ask what adding your child costs and whether your membership includes this location. The FAQ says bottle feedings are not provided. Bring the requested labeled diaper supplies, but confirm who handles changes rather than assuming.

Manhattan Country Club

1330 Parkview Avenue, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266 • (310) 546-5656

Bay Club posts childcare for ages 6 months–12 years here: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–noon; Saturday–Sunday, 8–11 a.m.; and Tuesday–Friday, 5–8 p.m. The membership-child requirement, two-hour daily visit limit and onsite-parent rule also apply.

Confirm your reservation window in Connect before organizing your week: the childcare page describes seven-day advance booking, while the club’s membership card describes five-day booking. Request a current membership quote instead of assuming that “complimentary childcare” makes this a low-cost option.

Equinox South Bay

5400 Rosecrans Avenue, Hawthorne, CA 90250 • (310) 727-9543

The club’s posted Kids Club hours are Monday–Saturday, 8 a.m.–1 p.m.; Sunday is closed. Equinox’s Kids Club policy covers ages 4 months–7 years, advance reservations in EQX+, and one reservation per child per day for up to two hours. Your membership must include the club, and each child needs a Kids Club credit. Ask for South Bay’s current credit or package price; it is not the same thing as your gym dues.

Equinox’s member policies prohibit leaving the premises during Kids Club unless expressly stated otherwise. Ask about diapers, toilet training and illness rules. Cancel before your reservation starts to recover the credit; late cancellation or a no-show forfeits it.

Which local YMCAs list a Child Activity Center?

These four branches specifically list a Child Activity Center, or CAC, rather than simply offering children’s classes:

• Collins & Katz Family YMCA: 1466 S. Westgate Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90025 • (310) 477-1511.
• Culver-Palms Family YMCA: 4500 Sepulveda Boulevard, Culver City, CA 90230 • (310) 390-3604.
• Burbank YMCA: 321 E. Magnolia Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91502 • (818) 845-8551.
• Anderson Munger Family YMCA: 4301 W. 3rd Street, Los Angeles, CA 90020 • (213) 427-9622.

The LA YMCA CAC page says hours and ages vary by location and directs members to the LA Y App for availability and reservations. Do not treat each branch’s main opening hours as childcare hours.

The association handbook describes CAC as a family-membership benefit, with a two-hour daily limit and potentially shorter stays for children 12 months and younger. Parents must remain in the facility. Staff do not change diapers; they will locate a parent when a change is needed. Babies should arrive fed and with a clean diaper. Ask each branch for its minimum age, potty-training policy and whether both siblings can attend your preferred session. Request the full family-membership price and ask about financial assistance if helpful.

What should you ask at Crunch, Fitness 19 and LA Fitness?

Crunch Burbank

761 N. San Fernando Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91502 • (818) 336-9300

The official Burbank page lists Kids Crunch Babysitting under Extras. That is a useful local lead, but it does not publish the age range, childcare schedule or charge. Ask whether babysitting is staffed during your intended class, which membership covers access, and whether you need a reservation. Also confirm the maximum stay, parent-location and diaper rules. Crunch’s FAQ distinguishes Signature memberships from Crunch Fitness memberships; another club’s cheaper tier or babysitting policy may not apply here.

Fitness 19 Pico Rivera

8676 Whittier Boulevard, Pico Rivera, CA 90660 • (562) 942-1919

The local page still lists a Kids Room at this address. Its guest-pass terms say Kids Club services carry an additional fee. Before joining, confirm that the room is currently staffed, your child’s eligibility, opening hours, booking requirements and exact monthly or per-visit charge. Fitness 19’s general age description explicitly says minimum ages vary by location, so it does not establish that Pico Rivera accepts a three-month-old.

LA Fitness La Cienega

1833 C. South La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90035 • (310) 202-6823

This branch posts Kids Klub hours Monday–Thursday, 8:30 a.m.–noon and 4–8 p.m.; Friday–Saturday, 8:30 a.m.–noon; Sunday closed. Kids Klub carries an additional charge. Ask for the local child age window, maximum visit, reservation and parent-stay rules, plus the price for each child. General LA Fitness availability is not proof that another branch has operating care.

The Universal City branch also posts Kids Klub hours at 3400 Cahuenga Boulevard West. The Culver City branch at 3827 Overland Avenue is not included as an operating childcare recommendation: its current local page does not list Kids Klub.

Which older listings should you not rely on?

Fitness 19 Bellflower at 9044 Alondra Boulevard should not be treated as a current gym destination. Although an old promotional page remains online, the old branch page is unavailable and NAPA’s official page now lists an auto-parts store at that address. We have not established a replacement gym or relocated Kids Club.

We also could not substantiate the older childcare claims for Crunch Norwalk/Chatsworth or Equinox Miracle Mile/Hollywood. Equinox’s current information still identifies Culver City and Studio City as Kids Club options; check the exact branch schedule and your membership access rather than assuming every Equinox offers care.

What should you confirm before signing a gym contract?

• Your child: exact age eligibility, infant versus toddler space, toilet-training requirements and sibling availability.
• Your schedule: childcare—not gym—hours, maximum stay, reservations, cancellation penalties and what happens if staff are unavailable.
• Your bill: adult dues, enrollment/annual fees, required tier, child add-on, credits or per-visit costs, and whether a trial includes care.
• Your location: whether you must stay in the building or on the property, and how staff reach you for pickup.
• Care policies: diaper changes, bottles, food/allergies, illness exclusions, staff training/ratios, accommodations and authorized pickup.

FAQ: Is gym childcare the same as daycare?

What if supervised gym care does not fit our family?

MomsLA’s workout-app guide offers an at-home starting point, but an app does not supervise children. Our Mommy and Me classes guide is another way to explore activities together—not drop-off childcare while you exercise independently. Choose the arrangement that fits your family; there is no need to force a membership that does not work.
